Upgrade from NT4 to Vista or XP ???

by james.simmonds . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

I work for a company that are finally going to do a full infrastructure upgrade, we are going to be buying new hardware of at least a Vista spec but have been debating around the project team about moving to Vista or XP.

The debates are around is Vista too new for us to risk an upgrade.

We have about 2500 computers to upgrade and about 300 of them are XP laptops and the rest (All desktops) are NT4. Our business critical application is hosted an a AS400 mainframe

We have purchased an enterprise agreement so will of already paid for Vista, Applications will need to be tested on the new OS anyway.

I need to do a report on both and have lots of info from the web but when people are saying not to upgrade to Vista it is because they are already on XP. We are like a “green field” site as it is all going to migrated.

I’m concerned that we will rollout XP and then have to spend again for Vista rollout.

Any questions just ask and Happy New Year all.

James
